Christmas Mini Album Video

Happy New Year....
Today's video is my Christmas mini album I made this past weekend. I really enjoyed making it and I loved playing with the Simple Stories: 25 Days of Christmas Collection.

I picked up the gift bag die a while ago from Paper Trey Ink and when I was thinking about how I wanted to make my mini album I thought this would be perfect. Steel dies are too thin to use a medium weight chipboard with but you can use a lightweight chipboard or even a cereal box.

Hey Christina! I've been out of the blogging loop for quite awhile but I want you to know that I love your work! You are so clever! Great idea with the Martha Stewart punch by using it as a binding! Thanks for sharing your album and your photos too!

Thanks, Christina, for sharing. I'm new to Photoshop and your explanation was so very clear, it was extremely helpful to me. You did the same thing three times, which is very useful for newbies. Your mini album is also terrific. Vicki Lee

Thank you so much for your website and hard work. Wow are you ever talented. Love the Christmas book. I am a quilter that is going to take on card making. Will purchase the Cricut Expression 2 this week. Looking forward to learning from your website. Sincerely, Barb from Larkspur, CO

Wow Christina! This is such an awesome mini! Your details and beautiful. I love the pull out tags for journaling and the extra pull out for pictures. Beautiful paper and pretty ribbon collection. Love this!! Thanks for sharing and look forward to more of your fabulous creations!Sherrie Khttp://sherriescraps.blogspot.com

What a fantastic way to remember Christmas 2011. You've given me some great ideas for my next mini album. Thanks too for the Photoshop video as well. I own Photoshop and Elements, but haven't used them. It just seemed so difficut, but thanks to you ... it really isn't!Happy New Year to you and your family!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this mini! It might be your best ever, and that is saying a LOT!!! Using the Front and Center for a mini is brilliant!!!! I love that die. I used it and Betsy Veldmans idea an made candy bar wrapper for place holders for christmas. They were co cute! I haven't watched your Photoshop video but I will. Thank You in advance for that. I have watched other videos before and the directions didn't work for me. I am sure yours will ~ your videos are so clear and well done!Thank you so VERY much for sharing that AMAZING mini!Susan

LOVE LOVE LOVE the mini!! Question... How quickly do you run out of ink on your Canon printer? Was considering the purchase but hoping it isn't an ink "guzzler" I know it takes 8 cartridges so wanted to get all the info before taking the plunge.

You still amaze me with your videos. You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks for all the info. I do not have a cuttlebug or photoshop and still I watched every minute of your videos. Excellent information. Happy new year!

Hi Christina, thank you for sharing your great mini with us. It's just perfect, as always. Now, let me ask you something. I know nothing about Photoshop. What's the purpose of using the black color on the boxes you created to put the photos on? What would happen if you chose a different color - let's say white or blue?

What a beautiful mini album! I love everything about it. Your knack for putting mini's together is amazing Christina. That is a great paper collection and each little detail you added is such a great touch. Thanks for sharing your tips too, like with the MS punch. I have two of those and never thought to make a binding out of them. I also love how you added pull out sections to be able to add more photos/journaling. Happy New Year!! xx
